The point that the author makes is very valuable, it is important to not throw out hands in the air. If you are not moving forward, you are falling back.

Though one (perhaps nit-picky) point I'd like to make is that these dictators are not dumb. They are incredibly intelligent. They themselves are probably not hackers, but they understand people and power. They are going do what they can to get what they want. We can't ignore the factor they play in creating these problems, and we need to take it just as seriously as we would a technical security exploit.

You don't have to be "incredibly intelligent" to pay some company to hack a list of your enemies. That just takes money and a list of people you hate, not insight.
